Reviews

"In 1998, as Biju Mathew reminds us in Taxi, a group of drivers-24,000 cabbies-staged an inspiring work stoppage in New York City. Theirs lasted only a day but showed that a group of "independent contractors"-the Taxi Workers Alliance-could make gains through lobbying, publicity, and direct action even when deprived of formal collective bargaining rights. As Mathew movingly describes, the New York taxi driving workforce"Thanks to the forces of globalization-has been "structured almost permanently into a culture of masculine bachelorhood" due to the forced separation of so many drivers from wives and families in their country of origin."-Steve Early, New Labor Forum, Spring 2008 "A stunning introduction to the lives of New York's taxi drivers. It is destined to become a classic."-Vijay Prashad
